Authenticity

Authenticity, Personal Branding, and Flawesomeness with Dr. Natalia Wiechowski

Original Air Date: March 1, 2021

In marketing, there are certain buzzwords that can be overused.  

‘Authenticity’ and ‘personal branding’ are two of those words. Especially when they’re in the same sentence. 

So when someone can actually demonstrate how to create an authentic personal brand, that is both refreshing and remarkable to me. 

This week’s guest, Dr. Natalia Wiechowski, does just that, while also giving us a blueprint on how to up our personal branding game.

Natalia’s story is truly remarkable. I’ll give you a teaser: 

If you had the top floor penthouse suite, the high-end clothes, the high power job – if you had acquired everything you had ever wanted… could you give it all up to answer a new calling?

During my interview with Natalia, she shares her journey on discovering her calling and how she found the courage to answer that call. 

For my marketers out there, Natalia is known by Inc. Magazine as the LinkedIn Marketing Unicorn, and is a Forbes Coaches council member. 

We take a deep dive into how you can grow your business, both by using LinkedIn and following strategies to create consistent leads. 

For my personal development enthusiasts, Natalia delivers powerful insights into how we can cultivate a growth mindset.

This interview will leave you with pages of notes on how you can take your business and your mindset to the next level. 

Do yourself this favor and listen to this one.

Vulnerability, Manhood and Authenticity with Orlando Deral Wilson

This episode is one of the most powerful stories of the year and listening to this incredible story is a great way for you to wrap up 2019. This week I talked with Orlando Deral Wilson, who shared his extraordinary story of experiencing homelessness and living in his car and his journey of how he created stability in his life as well as in his mind and in his heart. 

He opens up about how he discovered that his experience of rejection had been influencing his decisions and how he was able to transform his reality through becoming vulnerable. We talked about the impact that being vulnerable can have on those around us, and how we can draw positive changes into our lives through opening our hearts.

Fueled by a passion to help others, Orlando began his fitness journey as a form of self-help after he found himself homeless. He had started going to the gym daily – originally only to shower – but slowly used exercise to overcome feelings of helplessness and convert them to feelings of empowerment. As he became stronger physically, he became stronger mentally and shared videos of his journey on social media and built a following of many who were inspired by his story.

Orlando discovered his love for cycling which made an enormous impact on him from both a mind and body perspective. Always focused on growth and knowledge, he quickly moved beyond student to pursuing his own certifications as a fitness trainer and cycling coach. This new career path clearly was Orlando’s calling and he become Certified Fitness Trainer  and earned cycling certifications from Schwinn, Spinning / MadDogg and Stages.

Throughout Los Angeles, Orlando has emerged as one of the most sought-after Cycling coaches, Personal Trainers and Wellness experts. He has built a loyal following based on his ability to connect with students and help them achieve and exceed their potential both physically and mentally.

I recommend this episode to anyone who has experienced serious challenges who would like to learn how to grow through the challenge by looking within and harnessing the power of transformation. Please share this episode with any men who you think can benefit from being part of the conversation that I have with Orlando about vulnerability and opening up our hearts to create a positive change in our lives. 

You can connect with Orlando on Instagram; and as personal trainer and cycling coach at Equinox Clubs and elite studios throughout the Los Angeles area.

Accountability, Authenticity, and Facilitation With Sarah Ogdie

This week, I’m joined by Sarah “with an h” Ogdie, a social worker and lettering artist based out of downtown LA. She prides herself on being authentic, bold, interdependent, and deeply invested in modeling intersectional, queer, millennial, feminine leadership. 

In January, Sarah left her job as Program Director (and former Interim Executive Director) of Community Tampa Bay after 8 years. Last year, she launched The Authentic Type as a way to get closer to one of her dreams of running a revolutionary woman-owned business, creating word-based art using typography and modern calligraphy to speak her values to the world.

Over the course of 14 years, Sarah served as a counselor, advisor and co-director during more than 30 residential sessions of the ANYTOWN® program. Over 5,000 youth have participated in dozens of interactive, school-based youth leadership conferences Sarah has led. She has previously been a certified 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens facilitator, a national Life Entrepreneurship trainer, and a Courageous Conversations about Race Affiliate Practitioner. She is also an avid meal prepper, a very slow runner, a book enthusiast, and an amateur video game player. 

On this episode, Sarah talks about the relationship between affirmation, accountability, apologies, and allyship. We share stories of our own friendship, filled with lots of laughter and including the many (sometimes embarrassing) previous versions of ourselves we’ve experienced. Lastly, Sarah shares her story of going from a reluctant manager to someone who is passionate about removing barriers and helping others be their best, and how failure has led her to embrace being scared and doing things anyway.
